>>50652340>I don't think it's worth another $120.Are you Australian? Or do you buy both versions for some reason?
>the BFI mean, there's 4 distinct facilities which all play pretty differently, they're just all spread out and they didn't bring back Battle Factory for some reason.
>And relying on nostalgia for a 3v3 only battle area is kinda lame.So you don't like teambuilding? That's really the PWT's strentngh, but it only shines in the Type Expert tournaments. There's also Black Tower/White Treehollow to give you a Trainer Tower/Hill or Battle Pyramid experience. And Pokestar Studios is a lot like Gale of Darkness' Battle Sims, although it's mostly in getting the cult endings. Maybe they're not as difficult, but neither were Contests outside of stat limitations if we're being honest. If you still need more, there's some Medal Rally things that you might not have thought of trying otherwise. Give it a look some time.
>>50652401Battle Institute is really fucking lame. I dunno why they brought it back in XY. Then again that's the game that prioritized Sky Battles over the way cooler Inverse Battles, so I don't know what I was expecting. Like, seriously, they made an entirely different type matchup chart for one guy you can fight once a day. Once again, ORAS is better at being Gen 6 than XY is because you can do way more with Inverse Battles.
>>50652420There's like three good facilites in Platinum, and maybe one or two more in Emerald. It's about on par.
>>50652435The Safari Zone is technically there, and it's arguable that removing the normal mechanics make it more fun and less frustrating, but I've never been sure how to feel about it. Do the Pokeblock things still work the same in the ORAS version? Outside of HGSS that's the most depth the Safari Zone has ever had.
